Apple TV's 2025 release The Gorge, starring Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy, has been confirmed as one of the streaming service's biggest hits, with Apple stating it became the platform's biggest film launch ever and drove increased international engagement. Directed by Scott Derrickson, the film blends science fiction, horror, romance and action as two elite operatives stationed on opposite sides of a mysterious, classified gorge bond while guarding against an unseen threat, prompting speculation about a possible franchise despite its self-contained story.

The cast also includes Sigourney Weaver, Sope Dirisu, William Houston, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, James Marlowe and Julianna Kurokawa. Critical reception was more mixed than audience reaction, with the film holding a 63% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes—praised for the chemistry between Teller and Taylor-Joy but divided over its elaborate sci-fi mythology—compared with a notably higher 77% audience Popcornmeter score.
